2019 NISSAN TITAN recommended oil

NOTE:
Trailer Sway Assist cannot reduce trailer
sway in all situations.∙ Be careful when passing other vehicles. Passing while towing a trailer requires
considerably more distance than nor-
mal passing. Remember, the length of
the trailer must also pass the other ve-
hicle before you can safely change
lanes.
∙ Use the Tow Mode or downshif t the transmission to a lower gear for engine
braking when driving down steep or
long hills. This will help slow the vehicle
without applying the brakes.
∙ Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or too frequently. This could cause
the brakes to overheat, resulting in re-
duced braking efficiency.
∙ Increase your following distance to al- low for greater stopping distances
while towing a trailer. Anticipate stops
and brake gradually.
∙ NISSAN recommends that the cruise control (if so equipped) not be used
while towing a trailer. ∙ Some states or provinces have specific
regulations and speed limits for ve-
hicles that are towing trailers. Obey the
local speed limits.
∙ Check your hitch, trailer wiring harness connections, and trailer wheel lug nuts
af ter 50 miles (80 km) of travel and at
every break.
∙ When launching a boat, don’t allow the water level to go over the exhaust tail
pipe or rear bumper.
∙ Make sure you disconnect the trailer lights before backing the trailer into the
water or the trailer lights may burn out.
When towing a trailer, final drive gear oil
should be replaced and transmission
oil/fluid should be changed more fre-
quently. For additional information, refer
to the “Do-it-yourself ” section in this
manual.
Tow mode
Using tow mode is recommended when
pulling a heavy trailer or hauling a heavy
load. Press the TOW MODE switch to acti-
vate tow mode. The indicator light on the
TOW MODE switch illuminates when tow
mode is selected. Press the TOW MODE
switch again to turn tow mode off. Tow mode is automatically canceled when the
ignition switch is turned off.
Tow mode includes the following features:
∙ Grade logic — Adjusts transmission shif ts when pulling a trailer or hauling a
load up a grade.
∙ Downhill Speed Control (DSC) — auto- matically downshif ts when driving
down a grade with a trailer or heavy
load to help control vehicle speed.
Driving the vehicle in the tow mode with no
trailer/load or light trailer/light load will not
cause any damage. However, fuel
economy may be reduced and the
transmission/engine driving characteris-
tics may feel unusual.
When towing a trailer, final drive gear oil
should be replaced and transmission
oil/fluid should be changed more fre-
quently. For additional information, refer
to the “Do-it-yourself ” section of this
manual.

The stage 1 fuel filter separates water and
filters impurities from the fuel. The stage 2
fuel filter filters finer impurities from the
diesel fuel. The stage 1 and stage 2 fuel
filters should be changed at the recom-
mended service interval or when indicated
by the information display. For additional
information, refer to “Maintenance and
schedules” and “Instruments and controls”
sections of the Titan Owner’s Manual.
The water/fuel separator should be
drained when indicated by illumination of
the water in fuel warning light.
NOTE:
Proper fuel filter maintenance and
prompt water draining when the water
in the fuel filter warning light illuminates
is essential to prevent damage to fuel
injection system components. Ignoring
the water in fuel warning light can cause
your vehicle to go into a reduced power
mode and has the potential for fuel sys-
tem damage.ENGINE PROTECTION MODE
The diesel engine in this vehicle is equipped
with electronically controlled fuel and
emission systems. Both systems monitor
engine temperatures and pressures, and
then modif y engine operation accordingly.
It is normal for the diesel engine to operate
under these modified conditions for short
durations of time. If the engine operates
under the modified conditions for ex-
tended periods of time, and the service en-
gine soon light is illuminated, have the sys-
tem checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN dealer for this service as
soon as possible.
LUBRICATION SYSTEM
It is important to change the engine oil at
the recommended service intervals to
maintain oil viscosity. Extending the oil and
filter change interval beyond the recom-
mended interval can negatively affect en-
gine performance, fuel economy and en-
gine life. For additional information, refer to
the “Do-it-yourself ” section of this manual.
GLOW PLUGS
The diesel engine glow plug system con-
sists of:∙ Eight Glow Plugs (one per cylinder)
∙ Glow Plug Control Module - Uses input from the Engine Coolant Temperature
Sensor
The glow plugs are energized momentarily
when the ignition is first turned on. The
length of time that the glow plugs are en-
ergized varies depending on engine and
environmental conditions. The required
time for the glow plugs to be energized
decreases as coolant temperature in-
creases. For additional information, refer to
the “Starting and stopping the engine” sec-
tion of this manual.

DEF be topped off. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)” in
the “Fueling and refueling” section of this
manual. DEF Low XX% Limited Engine Power
Soon
This message appears as the DEF be-
comes low. Engine power will be limited
soon. It is recommended that the DEF be
topped off. For additional information, refer
to “Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)” in the “Fueling

This message appears when the DEF be-
comes low. Engine power will be limited in
the approximate distance shown. It is rec-
ommended that the DEF be topped off. For
additional information, refer to “Diesel Ex-
haust Fluid (DEF)” in the “Fueling and refuel-
ing” section of this manual.
DEF Empty 5mph Limit Soon See Own-
er’s Manual
This message appears when the DEF be-
comes empty. It is recommended that the
DEF be refilled as soon as possible. The
following conditions will limit the vehicle
speed when this message is shown:
∙ Engine shutdown and restart
∙ Engine is idled for approximately 1 hour ∙ Control module detects a fuel level in-
crease For additional information, refer
to “Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)” in the “Fu-
eling and refueling” section of this
manual.
DEF Empty Refill DEF See Owner’s
Manual
This message appears when the DEF is
empty and the vehicle speed is reduced to
a maximum of 5 mph. It is recommended
that the DEF be refilled as soon as possible.
For additional information, refer to “Diesel
Exhaust Fluid (DEF)” in the “Fueling and re-
fueling” section of this manual.
DEF System Error See Dealer
This message appears when the DEF sys-
tem encounters an error. It is recom-
mended that you have the system
checked by a NISSAN dealer or other quali-
fied technician. For additional information,
refer to “Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)” in the
“Fueling and refueling” section of this
manual.

you visit a NISSAN dealer or qualified tech-
nician immediately. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)”
in the “Do-it-yourself ” section of this
manual.
Engine Warming Keep Foot on Brake
This message appears during cold start
conditions when:∙ Brake pedal is depressed
∙ Push-button start button has been pressed
∙ Coolant temperature is below thresh- old
Keep foot on the brake until the engine
starts, which can take up to approximately
4 seconds. For additional information, refer
to “Starting the diesel engine” in the “Start-
ing and stopping the engine” section of this
manual. Engine Shutdown: Stop Safely
This message appears 30 seconds before
the vehicle is shutdown due to an above
normal operating exhaust temperature.
The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) and
malfunction warning light (red) will illumi-
nate. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer or other qualified technician
immediately.
Engine Power Reduced
This message appears when the engine is
not operating under normal conditions. For
additional information, refer to “Engine Pro-
tection Mode” in the “Introduction” section
of this manual.

This warning appears when the air filter
needs to be serviced. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Air cleaner” in the ”Mainte-
nance” section of the Titan Diesel Owner’s
Manual.Engine Oil Service due XX
This message is a count down of mileage
until the next engine oil service is due. Mile-
age until next required engine oil service
will be displayed by the vehicle information
display and will decrease at a higher rate as
vehicle operation severity (high duty cycle)
